Am I being selfish?

It's me again. LOL I love being a SAHM, but I also have always wanted to be a nurse, and that increased when I had to take care of my granfather when he had cancer. My DH and I have always agreed that I would stay home and take care of the kids. Well before I had Alex 2-01-01. I was registered to go back to college. When I found out I was expecting again, I decided to put it off. Well I have been thinking long and hard about this and I have decided to take 1 evening class a semester and get some of my nursing classes out of the way. I had told DH this about three weeks ago and he said that would be fine. Now let me explain how our weeks normally are when school is in. Monday we have boy scouts, Tuesday we have dance, Wensday he has fire meeting, Thursday, Friday and Sat are open until cheerleading and soccer starts up in a few weeks. All I ask for is one night a week for me for 2 hrs for 1 class. We decided he would not take any classes, or go on any fire calls when I am at class, and that he would handle the kids and he would not do "side" jobs for other people. He is an electrician and people are always calling him to do a job. He informs me last night that a guy in the fire department wants him to take a water rescue class with him. Now I have to admit I do get upset at stuff like that because he works 10-12hrs a day sometimes 7 days a week, and hardly ever sees the three kids. To make a long story short, should I be uspset because he wants to take a class, after he already agreed it was my turn to go to school? Sorry this is so long.

AAAAAA!!!!!
Amy,
I don't think your being selfish at all! I don't know what to say though except can't he wait to take his class when yours is over? Or schedule it where it does not interfere?
(((hugs))) to you!!

I do not feel you are being selfish, I should say that right now.
I think you two should sit down again and discuss this a bit more and then come up with a plan that you will stick to. Would not be good if you start going to class and then you have to stop.
Good luck and hope you get your classes :)
